New York Fashion Week: Who is Barbara Berman?

Barbara Berman is an instructor at FIT. She coordinates and supplies dressers for the fashion shows during New York Fashion Week. She also dresses the entire Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade! She came to us and said that she needed all of her students to have a basic kit, wondering if we’d put one together for her.  We did, and we found it so popular that we now sell it year-round.

New York Fashion Week: What’s in the Barbara Berman Kit?

Here are the contents of the kit.  They’re essential to any dresser, whether backstage on Broadway or during Fashion Week.Barbara Berman Styling Kit by Manhattan Wardrobe Supply

  • Black 3 pocket apron
  • 1 box ½” Topstick
  • Mini Lint Roller
  • Head Scarf
  • Bite Lite
  • Pre-Threaded Needles
  • Thread Clipper
  • Black Safety Pins

These are all so essential backstage– the apron keeps everything handy, Topstick protects modesty or fixes a hem quickly.  Lint rollers keep everything looking perfect, and head scarves protect hairdos during clothing changes.  A bite lite keeps your flashlight hands-free when you’re in the darkness backstage, and pre-threaded needles allow you to make small fixes without struggling to thread a needle.  Thread clippers work on loose threads and sewing, and what can’t black safety pins do?

Good luck with Fashion Week– and Manhattan Wardrobe Supply is here for everything you need for this big, busy week!
